B 117H SL Series Hydraulic Universal Testing Machines TENSION COMPRESSION FLEXURE
The SL Series Up to 3,000 kn of force applied by advanced digital control. Tinius Olsen s hydraulic testers have long been recognized as the standard for accuracy, dependability, and versatility in universal testing machines. The many thousands of testers currently in use throughout the world attest to this fact. Now more than ever, the SL series represents the highest standard in hydraulically powered universal testing machines. It features a patented dual-pressure hydraulic loading system and a rugged four-column construction for exceptional load frame rigidity. In addition, it has a space-saving console with a smaller footprint and comfortable working height design. A range of user interface options are available, including Bluetooth and/or tethered interfaces, to enable basic tests, comprehensive tests and everything in between, though Tinius Olsen s Horizon materials testing software. SL systems are guaranteed to meet ASTM, ISO, and other national and international specifications for accuracy. Accuracy is within +/- 0.1% of the indicated load from 0.2% to 100% of frame capacity. All equipment used to calibrate the weighing and indicating systems of the SL testers is traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). For consistent accuracy, robustness, and unparalleled reliability, the Tinius Olsen SL series still sets the standard of excellence. Tooling A wide variety of tooling is available on the SL series, including in-head pocket wedge grips, external grips, flexural / transverse tooling, compression platens, special application grips, and alignment assemblies to ensure accurate and repeatable testing. accessories Many kinds of accessories are available for accurate and repeatable testing, including LVDT extensometers, strain gage extensometers, position encoders, video extensometers, deflectometers, temperature cabinets, furnaces etc Horizon DATA analysis software Our Horizon software sets new standards of data analysis by adding a host of report writing for data manipulation capabilities that will make easy work of your materials testing programs, whether they re designed for the demanding rigors of R&D or the charting and analysis functions of QC testing. In addition to powerful reports, Horizon Materials Testing software is networkable and scalable so operators and managers can operate equipment and review test results from multiple sources and locations.
Versatile Suitable for tension, compression, transverse, and other tests on materials and assemblies. Rugged load frame Four-column construction provides exceptional load frame rigidity. ConfigurABLE load frame The SL loadframes can be configured according to your application needs. These options include closed, semi open, or fully open crossheads, which can be either motorised or fixed (the top crosshead can also be made adjustable meaning it can be raised or lowed on notched support columns. Additionally, the columns and drive screws can be lengthened in increments of 305 mm by up to an additional 914 mm. HANDHELD INTERFACE Two types of handheld machine controller interface are available. The first option is a wireless Bluetooth interface controller. virtual INTERFACE The third type of controller interface is a virtual one and is depicted graphically on a computer screen. This application runs independently of our Horizon software, but if connected, works seamlessly with the software. HANDHELD INTERFACE The second controller interface is the tethered option, above, with larger buttons for machine and test control. This controller interface is better suited for operators who wear gloves as part of their testing protocol.

Customization Tinius Olsen can supply an SL structured to handle nearly any sample. The keys are grips and fixtures properly fitted to hold your sample, as well as accessible crosshead and column designs that enable easy sample loading. CROSSHEAD OPTIONS A number of options are available to best suit the needs of your application, including: Closed This is the most common option on lower capacity frames and requires the most amount of effort to get the specimen in the grips. Semi-open front Here the crossheads are partially opened to allow easy access for loading specimens. Fully-open front Here the crossheads have full openings to allow specimens to be directly inserted into the grips. Adjustable Testers with adjustable columns allow smaller or larger test areas to be accessible; when the tester has these, an adjustable crosshead is required so it can be raised or lowered. Fixed Testers with fixed, non-motorised crossheads allow fast specimen insertion and removal and are primarily used for repetitive testing of the same product. Closed crosshead. Full-open front crosshead. Semi-open front crosshead. Fixed crosshead. Tinius Olsen has grips, fixtures, frames, crossheads, columns, and special purpose SL frames for most all requirements. GRIPS Crank-operated rack and pinion type wedge grips with flat and/or vee gripping faces for all closed crosshead SL frames Hydraulically actuated wedge style grips for semi-open and fully-open front crossheads. Whenever hydraulically actuated grips are selected, an operational pendant grip opener is supplied with the test frame. Additional external grips for testing flats, rounds, headed and threaded specimens, fasteners, and many other types of products and materials
CUSTOMIZATION COLUMNS AND SCREWS Columns and screws can be lengthened and crossheads can be made adjustable to meet your specific requirements. If we don t have an existing design that meets your testing needs (very unlikely given that we ve been developing solutions since 1880), we will develop a custom configuration that addresses them precisely. CONTROLLER INTERFACES SL systems can be operated by a choice of different interface panels. Choose from a tethered interface, a wireless interface, or a virtual interface running on a connected PC. On this 150SL frame the columns have been extended to accomodate large test specimens. On this 600SL frame the columns have been extended while the screws for the adjustable crosshead are standard length. Additionally, the columns are notched to accomodate the adjustable top crosshead and the whole machine is surrounded by a fragmentation guard. This virtual interface runs on a connected PC and can be used to set up and run a test to provide a quick numerical result. The addition of Horizon software with any of these interfaces allows complex tests to be created and recalled, along with sophisticated data analysis of all graphical data. This Bluetooth connected interface features easy to operate tactile buttons and a high resolution touch screen to set-up and monitor tests where parameters and results are shown numerically. The cointerface also features an 8MP camera and has internet connectivity This tethered interface option features larger tactile feedback buttons for the operation of the testing frame; these make it ideal for users who need to wear protective gloves while operating the machine. The display provides simple numerical display of individual channels used on the testing machine.
